-

 


The Civil Society Action Coalition on Education for All (CSACEFA) has celebrated its 25th anniversary, marking a quarter of a century of advocacy, partnership, and service in promoting inclusive and equitable education across Nigeria.

Speaking on the occasion, the Zamfara State Coordinator of CSACEFA, Comrade Abdullahi Lawali Bungudu, described the milestone as “a remarkable achievement in the struggle for quality education for all Nigerians, especially the most marginalized groups, including women, children, and persons with disabilities.”

According to him, CSACEFA has over the years remained a strong voice for the voiceless, championing education policies and programs that prioritize access for every child.

He noted that in Zamfara State, the coalition has been instrumental in mobilizing communities, strengthening accountability in the education sector, and partnering with government and stakeholders to tackle challenges facing basic and secondary education.

“Education is not a privilege but a fundamental human right and the foundation for peace, development, and prosperity,” Bungudu emphasized.

As the coalition celebrates its silver jubilee, he called on government, civil society, development partners, traditional and religious leaders, parents, and teachers to redouble their efforts in ensuring that no child is left behind.

On behalf of the Zamfara State chapter, Bungudu congratulated CSACEFA on the historic anniversary and reaffirmed its commitment to advancing the right to education for every child in the state and across Nigeria.

Insecurity in Zamfara: The Silent Crises in Dansadau Emirate

  The Dansadau Emirate in Maru local government is under siege not by foreign invaders but by the relentless grip of insecurity. Along the Gusau–Magami–Dansadau road, fear now walks freely where people once moved with peace and purpose. What was once a lifeline for commerce and daily life has become a corridor of terror. As someone with roots in this emirate, I can no longer stay silent. Families are torn apart, lives are lost daily, and the hope of a better tomorrow is fading. Innocent farmers, traders, children, and the elderly are living in constant fear of bandits who roam unchecked. The cries from our communities echo through the forests, yet they are met with deafening silence from those in power. We are not asking for miracles only for the most basic responsibility of any government: security. The people of Dansadau emirate deserve to live without fear, to farm their land, to send their children to school, and to travel safely within their own state. This is a call to the re...

An Urgent Call to Authorities on Graduation Celebrations

  By Abdullahi Lawal Bungudu I wish to draw the urgent attention of the Zamfara State Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, the Universal Basic Education Board (UBEB), the Ministry for Religious Affairs, and all school principals across the state, regarding the manner in which graduation ceremonies are now being conducted in our schools. It has become increasingly alarming that these celebrations—particularly those involving our young children—are gradually drifting away from the ethical, cultural, and religious standards expected in our society. In many instances, the interactions between boys and girls during such events are inappropriate, and contradict the moral values and teachings of Islam. This worrisome trend, if left unchecked, threatens to erode the moral foundation we strive to instill in our children through both formal education and religious upbringing. Graduation ceremonies should be moments of pride and reflection, not occasions for moral laxity and cultura...
